Thanks for your reply mbossman2! It's very helpful.
I replaced my original switch with a hub, but I think the info you gave is still applicable.

You are correct in saying the my router acts as a firewall. I don't understand what you mean by port forwarding. How can I determine what are the necessary ports to forward? I assume I set that up in my router configuration page, where I can also enable WEP, deactivate SSID broadcasting, and activating MAC filtering, right?

Thanks,
EDB
